Ah, Election Day. When millions of Americans get out to the polls to exercise their civic responsibility and vote in the next crop of public servants to do the people’s work for a couple more years.
Okay, okay, stop laughing. Sure, according to the Pew Research Center, human turnout in midterm elections has been consistently below 50% for more than 60 years. But there are still some out there who aren’t so cynical about voting.
Yes, I’m talking about cats. The civically minded demographic the pollsters keep forgetting about.
Don’t believe me? Two years ago, Hank the Cat made a spirited run for the U.S. Senate from Virginia.
